Default Need pictures of GS or IS fog lights on SC

I've searched but I cannot find a picture of GS/IS300 fog lights installed on a SC. I am thinking about replacing my cracked fog lights with some other OEM yellow fog lights..I want to see picture to see if it will look good or bad.

To my knowledge, there is no way the GS300/400 foglights will fit in the SC foglight location.

The IS300 fogs *CAN* fit into the location on the stock 92-96 bumpers, but they will also need modification and I'm not sure anyone has done it. I know O.L.T. was planning on it at some point, don't know if he ever got around to it. I don't know if they will fit at all in the 98 bumper. Best to replace the cracked one and do it up with a nice HID kit and add a yellow bulb.

nylexsc <<< but the older sc models light path goes sideways and not forward, the is fogs might be handy bc i want the fogs to shine straight

If it's doable, this would certainly help because I hate that our foglights are brightest when looking at the car from a 45 degree angle

It's because you have cornering lights not fog lights.

IS300 fogs will not fit into the 97+ bumpers...I have a set and am doing a retro of the IS300 yellow fogs into the 97+ foglight housing...

That is definitely doable if you want true yellow fogs without using a yellow sticker overlay or getting 3000k hid bulbs.

just a thot, how about the ltuned version of the foglights for the IS? mite be a little easier to retro in terms of opening up the stock SC fog and putting those in... friend had those put in a while back with his ltuned kit and it still produced a nice yellow... most likely from the yellow reflective housing you can see.
